I love freebies!!!

This post is a little late, but I just had to share! Last weekend, Cyndi and I picked up some fabric from a friend. We got there and there were about 10 large boxes stuffed with brand new retail drapes, pillow slips, shower curtains, etc... We really don't know what all we will end up using, but we are definitely going to be doing some "up cycling"...It would barely fit in the car with us. Since we didn't have room for the boxes, we opted to just pile the fabric in the back...this photo is when we were about half finish. By the end, I couldn't see out the back glass and there was only room for Anne, Cyndi, and me to sit!!! We are so excited about this BIG blessing!!!!!

Anyhoo...I am so thrilled to have this long weekend! ...lots of things to do though. Did I mention that we are closing on our house the 14th??? yeah, I haven't even started packing....oh well, we will get to that later.

Tomorrow I plan on going for a run early...then taking Anne to our church's Easter Celebration..then to Lee's to hear Keven Toqe for a bit (and hopefully have a healthy snack...unlike the huge, delicious strawberry cupcake I had today)...then to Hattiesburg with Brooke to find fabric to make flowers for the wedding...then back to church tomorrow evening for The Journey to the Cross...If you have never been a part of this, I highly recommend it! It takes you through each step leading up to the Cross. It is a solitary time for you to focus on the Cross and a time to allow Christ to speak to you. It's one of those things that I wouldn't say is "fun" but is a reminder that I always "need."

This post ended up being a little longer than expected...sorry. I do hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend filled with family and friends and thankful hearts as we are reminded of what Christ did for us on the Cross!!!
